Better Free Throw Shooting Intro

A quick summary of free throw shooting and why it is so important. You'll also find my Free Throw Drills and Situations ebook.

Free Throw Routine

I often ask players what routine they use at the free throw line and they say they don't have one. Players want to make things as familiar as possibe when shooting a free throw and having a routine is paramount to making this possible.

Drill #1 - Step Off The Line

By getting off the line players are becoming accostumed to resetting themselves and being comfortable at the free throw line.

Drill #2 - Body Adjustment

Making sure players can refocus themsleves and shoot the same shot every time they need to work on adjusting their bodies and resetting with each shot.

Drill #3 - Incremental Movements

Small movements start to train players muscles to adjust to different variables and to become a better shooter. Training the muscles to make small adjustments can pay big dividends when fatigue is a factor late in a game.

Drill #4 - Conditioning and Fatigue

Doing free throw shooting after a players heart rate is up and their muslces are fatigued mimicks what players will see in a game. The more conditioned they are to shoot the ball when tired the better they will make free throws in a game.

What's the number one thing coaches don't like when it comes to coaching? You guessed it... dealing with parents. In the next couple of lessons, I will give you three strategies to keep everyone on the same page and to lower the chance of those dreaded parent meetings.

Strategy #1

Strategy #1 is something coaches often pass by or don't put much thought into and it's the pre-season parent meeting. You'll learn why this meeting is so importnat and some key things to add to it in in this lesson.

Strategy #2

Strategy #2 is all about communicating early and often with a weekly update. This could be in the form of a newsletter, email, or private group that has been set up. You'll learn what items to put in the update and why they are so important in this lesson.

Strategy #3

Often times parents get a bad rap when they want to meet. If players would communicate a little bit more a lot of parent meetings don't need to happen and quite frankly, wouldn't happen. Let's look at how we can get our players to communicate better in this lesson.
